The 2014 One-Day Cup (also known as for sponsorship reasons as the 2014 Royal London One-Day Cup) was the 2014 season England and Wales Cricket Board limited overs cricket competition for the England and Wales first-class counties. It replaced the ECB 40 tournament that ran from 2010 to 2013. The number of overs per innings was increased to 50 to bring the competition in line with One Day Internationals and the national teams of Scotland, the Netherlands and the Unicorns cricket team (a team formed of players who do not have first-class contracts) did not participate in the competition.
Durham won the tournament, defeating Warwickshire by three wickets in the final at Lord's on 20 September 2014. This was Durham's second limited overs title in first-class cricket after the 2007 Friends Provident Trophy.
Competition format The competition consisted of two groups of nine teams, from which the top four teams from each group progressed to the quarter-finals. The groups were allocated randomly: Group A Group B Hampshire Kent Spitfires Derbyshire Falcons Durham Lancashire Lightning Glamorgan Gloucestershire Nottinghamshire Outlaws Leicestershire Foxes Sussex Sharks Northamptonshire Steelbacks Warwickshire Bears Worcestershire Surrey Essex Eagles Middlesex Panthers Yorkshire Vikings Somerset
